Birkenau – the Arrival / Birkenau – a l’arrivée

Celnikier, Izaak (1923-2011)

Due to the far-reaching schematism, lack of detail, leaving large areas of the frame completely undeveloped with a line or a spot (which almost never happens in Celnikier's other engravings), this composition has the character of a sketch. We can also consider that the theme was fully developed in the work "The Arrival in Birkenau" / "Arrivée à Birkenau" (MPOLIN-) from the portfolio "La Mémoire Gravée". | AT
